Ted Cruz doesn't have a conscious.

Many had no idea the election was rigged by the DNC (in collusion with mainstream media) when they cast their vote. These e-mails prove a total disregard for the electorate and the democratic process and severely harm people's trust in American democracy. Many voters were duped and manipulated by the DNC which acted like an extended arm of the Clinton campaign and the complicit mainstream media was in on the collusion to take out Sanders. Now the superdelegates must make their choice. Go for a trainwreck of a candidate or the man with 40 years of integrity. But the superdelegates are bribed as well, as one of the e-mails suggested!

Then certainly he would have put Trump on a pedestal, instead of having a backbone.
But according the post I replied to, he was right again.

Will Hillary get a bounce from her convention?



Trump bounces into the lead - CNNPolitics.com
It's interesting to me that CNN didn't release the poll in time for the Sunday morning shows but instead held onto it for the day when the results will be overshadowed by the first day of the Democrat convention.

To be fair, there is so much bad news for Clinton that it's tough to fit it all in one news cycle.

What to watch in weeks to come?

The difference between the national polls and the battlegrounds. After Trump's bounce he has a lead nationally of 2 to 5 points. But at the same time, CBS gives him a 1 point lead where it matters, in the states that are competitive. This is consistent with recent elections in that the tipping point state (state that got the winner to 270 electoral votes) was a point or two more Democratic than the national average.

Trump is absolutely crushing it with non-college white voters while at the same time is currently trailing among college whites, a Republican group since 1952.

Quote:
The poll also reflects a sharpening of the education divide among whites that has been prevalent throughout the campaign. Among white voters with college degrees, Clinton actually gained ground compared with pre-convention results, going from an even 40% to 40% split to a 44% to 39% edge over Trump. That while Trump expanded his lead with white voters who do not hold a college degree from a 51% to 31% lead before the convention to a 62% to 23% lead now.
Everyone take a breath, and wait for the following:

1. Wait about a month for the convention period to pass and for the race to stabilize.
2. Concentrate on the poll averages in the states that are going to matter. It will come down to the usual suspects: Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, in particular.

If you have a conscious a pledge made to the country in prime time means something to you.

I would have gave Cruz all the credit if he had said no. He didn't.
